- Key Products/Technologies
- Carbon Canister: An eco-friendly component that adsorbs fuel tank evaporative gases with activated carbon and burns them during engine operation. A product lineup addressing various environmental regulations including LEV-3/Tier-3 (North America), KLEV3 (Korea), EURO-6 (Europe), and CHINA-6 (China). World's first development of a heated canister for hybrid vehicles, with patents obtained in the US and Korea. Development of dedicated canisters for extended-range electric vehicles (EREV) completed and mass production planned.Carbon Canister: An eco-friendly component that adsorbs fuel tank evaporative gases with activated carbon and burns them during engine operation.
